  • Firstly your numbers are wrong, you need double the number of trips (it’s at least 2 just for commuting). So let’s say 5% chance over your lifetime. And that number is increasing because of the reasons mentioned in the article.

    Secondly just cause it’s more likely than not you’ll never get a crash doesn’t mean you have to be a dumbass and not wear a helmet. Is it really that difficult to take a little bit of precaution for something with a 5% chance of happening sometime in your lifetime? Seems like a no brainer to me.

    So you get out of here with your self-destructive attitude. Wearing helmets saves lives.











  • I had stopped collecting MP3s in the late 00s when Spotify first became a thing, but then a couple years ago I decided to drop streaming and modernize my digital collection (replace most MP3s with FLAC). Plexamp is a really good mobile music player, and on desktop I use Foobar2000.

    When I want to listen to something new I use YouTube Music, which is ass but comes with my premium subscription. If I think I’ll listen again to that music I sail the high seas for the FLACs.

    Overall has made me more intimately connected to my collection, doesn’t feed Spotify a dime, and guarantees lossless quality. Took a bit of effort but was worth it.
